Description
Black Star Britain's Asian Youth Movements documents the emergence and evolution of Asian youth movements in 1970s and 1980s Britain. These organisations, established by the children of early migrants, sought to challenge both street racism and state oppression.
Anandi Ramamurthy explores how these groups drew inspiration from global black power movements and anti-imperialist struggles, while also identifying with a broader-based black unity that transcended ethnic boundaries.
The book sheds light on the Asian Youth Movements' struggle to make Britain their home, only to see this identity fragment in the late 1980s as Islamophobia emerged as a new form of racism. Black Star retrieves and assesses this history, highlighting its ongoing relevance for contemporary political struggles in Britain.
